“The #EndSARS Panel of Enquiry is equally doing a great job which will bring peace, reconciliation and compensation to everyone that was unjustly victimized by SARS.

“However, we must give peace a chance. The country belongs to us all; we are still trying to find our feet economically, therefore, we should not destroy the little we had managed to build.

“Our youths have made their point, they should embrace peace and allow our leaders to learn their mistakes and correct themselves going forward”, said Udoka.

Th security aide disclosed that he had been on tour of the various local government areas, interfacing with security agencies and community leaders.
He said the tour was geared toward fashioning the best way to initiate peace processes and sustain it for economic growth.
